Both probably have 15 - 20 signatures.

I would definitely not worry about getting them authenticated. Most team ball collectors want to see more players. Still collectible, though, especially since they are in nice shape.

Thanks for the input - any suggestions as to the next step if I want to see the Cards ball? Anything we get from this will be donated to charity.

Those are both nice baseballs and authentic in my opinion. You could photograph them well and attempt to sell on eBay if that is possible for you. Otherwise you could send to one of the auction houses that specializes in autographs for them to sell. Value depends on the exact year which you can tell by who is on the ball and what years they played on the team as someone has eluded to. Price also depends on how many signatures are on each ball and if all bigger names players are there. Also if the team won the World Series or played in it that year.

Thanks - is there an auction house you'd recommend I reach out to?

Hi, I sent you a PM and can help you figure out the years and approximate value if you would like. Thank you.
